TB 68.5 Colors

Post by Prince_Rogue »

I need to change the TB colors so it is easy on the eyes. When I bring up the options, it is black qn white. I need to flip that. Can I? Thanks.

The built-in dark and light themes don't seem to effect that. I tried Monterail Full Dark 2 for TB>68 but it doesn't do what you want. Its always black text on a white background. I assume you need to use CSS in ..\chrome\userChrome.css to change that windows colors.

Try this:

Code: Select all

/* Thunderbird userContent.css */

@-moz-document url-prefix("about:preferences"),
url-prefix("chrome://messenger/content/preferences/aboutPreferences.xul") {
  :root {
    --in-content-page-background: orange !important;
    --in-content-page-color: red !important;
    --in-content-categories-background: pink !important;
    --in-content-text-color: green !important;
  }
}
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css

P.S.

You can view the source of the aboutPreferences.xul and *.css pages using the error console.

i.e. Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)

Code: Select all

(function () {
  var urls = ["chrome://messenger/content/preferences/aboutPreferences.xul",
    "chrome://messenger/skin/preferences/aboutPreferences.css",
    "chrome://messenger/skin/shared/in-content/aboutPreferences.css",
    "chrome://global/skin/in-content/common.css"];
  for (var i = 0; i < urls.length; i++) {
    document.getElementById("tabmail").openTab("contentTab", {
      contentPage: "view-source:" + urls[i],
    });
  }
})();
